Overview

D1 Training is a fitness franchise that delivers high-caliber athletic training to youth and adults, using science-backed programming typically reserved for elite athletes. Unlike traditional gyms or fitness trends, D1 follows structured 5-8-week training cycles designed by a panel of national strength and speed coaches. Founded by a former Division 1 college football player, D1 Training is built around the philosophy of training like a Division 1 athlete, with a focus on skill development, strength, agility, and character building.

Franchise owners benefit from a turn-key business model that includes site selection, marketing, employee training, and workout programming. Revenue is generated through memberships, personal training, group training, teams, leagues, and merchandise sales. D1’s strong brand recognition and professional athlete partnerships help drive community engagement and business growth. Franchisees receive ongoing support in operations, technology, and marketing to ensure long-term success.

This franchise is ideal for business-minded individuals who are passionate about fitness and community engagement. While a background in athletics is helpful, it is not required. Owners should be prepared to manage staff, oversee membership sales, and promote their location within their community.
